SEGMENTAL ANALYSIS

Global Spray Adhesives Market By Technology

Water-based, solvent-based, and hot-melt products are the main product segments included in the research study. In terms of revenue, the water-based category accounted for a 43.4% share of the industry total in 2025. These products are formulated from natural and synthetic polymers. These products are formulated with water as the key diluent. They do not contain any VOC-emitting solvents, so they can be used as low-VOC adhesives for various industrial applications. Styrene-butadiene, polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), acrylic, and vinyl ethylene acetate (VAE) are a pair of synthetic polymers used to make these products. Water-based emulsion systems are suitable for general high-speed product assembly applications.

These products are expected to experience declining market share during the forecast period. Due to the significantly high VOC content present in these products, consumer preference is likely to shift towards the use of hot melt and water-based aerosol adhesives in the coming years.

These glues are formulated using solvents containing polyurethane, polychloroprene, acrylic, and synthetic and natural rubbers. Due to their high VOC content, these products are considered sources of smog formation and asthma irritants. Therefore, they are subject to strict regulations, especially in the United States, Germany, and other countries in Western Europe.

However, solvent-based aerosol glues are still used in the Asia-Pacific region. Low-cost availability and high drying rate compared to water-based glues are some of the factors supporting the use of the product. In addition, they exhibit good heat resistance, and due to the presence of a large amount of solvent, they exhibit less sensitivity to surface contaminants.
